September 15, 200421 yr Link Suspects in girl's assault missing Authorities fear teens fled U.S. By Joseph Sjostrom Tribune staff reporter Published September 14, 2004 Two of four teens awaiting trial on charges they videotaped themselves having sex with an unconscious Naperville girl in 2002 have disappeared, and authorities fear they may have fled the country, police said Monday. Adrian Missbrenner, 19, of Burr Ridge and Burim Bezeri, 19, of Lyons were among the defendants ordered to remain in their homes except to attend school or visit their lawyers as a condition of bail following their arrests Dec. 12, 2002. But both have been missing for more than a week. Bezeri was not at home when staff from the Cook County Probation Department's pretrial services section checked on him Aug. 27, said Tom Stanton, a spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney. Missbrenner was not home when pretrial services staff checked his home Sept. 6, Stanton said. Stanton said the state's attorney was notified of Bezeri's absence a week later. Warrants for both men's arrest were issued Thursday by Judge Robert Smierciak, who is presiding over the case in the Bridgeview branch of Cook County Circuit Court. Cook County sheriff's police detectives are investigating the case because Missbrenner's home, where the videotaping allegedly took place, is in an area that was unincorporated in 2002. It has since been annexed by Burr Ridge. Sheriff's police and Lyons police also have visited Missbrenner's and Bezeri's homes but have not found the two. They have been unable to learn their whereabouts from family members, spokespeople for those departments said Monday. Bezeri is rumored to have fled to Albania, where members of his family live, said Lyons Police Cmdr. Neil Sexton. Missbrenner also may have overseas ties, but the country is uncertain, said Sally Daly, a county sheriff's spokeswoman. "We're looking into reports that they may have fled the country. Both have relatives overseas, but we have no concrete evidence such as airplane tickets that they have in fact left the country," Daly said. "We have spoken with local authorities and federal authorities to make sure they're aware [of the disappearances], so if they do attempt to leave, they can be intercepted." Police in Lyons and Burr Ridge also are watching for signs of the missing men, officials of those departments said. Prosecutors sought last month to increase Missbrenner's $100,000 bail and also to restrict his home confinement to 24 hours a day because of an April 8 drunken-driving arrest. But a judge declined the request pending a resolution of the drunken-driving case. Missbrenner, Bezeri and co-defendants Sonny Smith, 19, and Christopher Robbins, 19, both of Brookfield, are scheduled to appear in court Thursday in the videotaping case. They are charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault and child pornography. Students that attended my old high school. Not quite sure what to think of it all, but I do hope they are caught.
September 15, 200421 yr Some people are just sick. I really don't have a nicer way to say it but some people just derserve to get the s*** kicked out of 'em.
September 15, 200421 yr I went to hoghschool with those f***ers. Bunch of pricks. What they did sickens me. Whats even worse are the people who supported them, "oh sunny would never do that, he's too nice"- Well guess what it's on f***ing video tape, i'm pretty sure he did it. Even more, there were other guys who just wrote on the girls body, thats just as bad. send the guys and the girls parents right to jail, dumbasses don't deserve to share the same air as me. Sorry for the rant but it sickens me to know that i was once acquentencies with a couple of these guys. Send um all to hell
September 15, 200421 yr Author send the guys and the girls parents right to jail, dumbasses don't deserve to share the same air as me. Why the girls parents?
September 15, 200421 yr Why the girls parents? If i were a good parent, my 16 year old daughter doesn't show up to a party after midnight. How do you let that happen? The only answer i can come up with is that you just don't give a s*** about your daughter.
September 15, 200421 yr Author If i were a good parent, my 16 year old daughter doesn't show up to a party after midnight. How do you let that happen? The only answer i can come up with is that you just don't give a s*** about your daughter. What are you going to do? Put a chip in her and moniter where she is at all times via satellite signals to your home television? Most kids do things they aren't supposed to. Going to a party after midnight isn't highly unusual. Not even in the slightest.
September 15, 200421 yr Yea, but then when you're asleep, she's out the window. My dogs would bark at santa.
September 15, 200421 yr Author My dogs would bark at santa. Mine too. Either way, the fugitives shall be caught!
September 15, 200421 yr hmmmmmmmmmm thats a pretty f***ed up story, i think just about every high school has atleast one situation involving the kind of s*** unfourtatly just not all get reported.
September 15, 200421 yr What would even posess you to do something like that? And then on top of it all, to video tape it? No mercy as far as I am concerned.. hopefully they get a nice long sentance in a max security prision...

No mercy as far as I am concerned.. hopefully they get a nice long sentance in a max security prision... I don't think they'll see much mercey now they've tried to escape.
September 15, 200421 yr Most kids do things they aren't supposed to. Going to a party after midnight isn't highly unusual. Not even in the slightest. Either things have really changed since I was sixteen (almost 12 yrs ago) or parents today are the biggest pushovers in the history of parents....not sure which.
September 16, 200421 yr Either things have really changed since I was sixteen (almost 12 yrs ago) or parents today are the biggest pushovers in the history of parents....not sure which. things have changed, parents have no control anymore.
September 16, 200421 yr things have changed, parents have no control anymore. Not necessarily true, my dad has total control over what everyone in the house does. My fav. moment was when my sister talked back to him and my dad yelled at her so nasty, my sis threatened to call the D.C.F.S. and my dad gave her a phone book and said go do it. OWNED, she never talked back again.
September 16, 200421 yr Punk - good to see parents use that line now and then (yes that means QP's parents used that line with her and her sister a time or two ).

September 16, 200421 yr yelling doesnt effect the generation x they are imune. yelling coupled with the fact that the kid knows u'll beat the crap outta them if they disobey.. it worked for me!
